Description

I'd agree with a suggestion from David that an option like "--force-os=linux" or something similar would be an acceptable workaround, if the problem is only with detecting the operating system. This has been reported already as upstream bug #1186935. (In reply to Vagner Farias from comment #2) > I'd agree with a suggestion from David that an option like > "--force-os=linux" or something similar would be an acceptable workaround, > if the problem is only with detecting the operating system. This won't work, as the inspection done by libguestfs does more than just detecting the OS: for example, it detects all the different partitions in the disk image, and how they are eventually mounted for each guest. Verified with the packages: libguestfs-1.32.5-10.el7.x86_64 Verify steps: 1.
